Fans of tough-as-nails action games rejoice, **Nioh 2** has gone gold ahead of its worldwide release on March 13, 2020. {#more-743911}
Between The Surge 2, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and of course, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, 2019 was a vintage year for third-person action games where you get your teeth kicked in over and over again by ridiculously tough enemies.
Now Nioh 2 is just around the corner, ready to reacquaint you with the true meaning of suffering.
As highlighted by [Gemastsu](https://www.gematsu.com/2020/02/nioh-2-goes-gold), Nioh 2 developer Team Ninja took to the game's official Twitter account to announce the milestone.
